Hmm. For the query ID, that's not new, but for the plan ID it is. So
it seems to me that there could be also an argument for doing all that
in v18 rather than releasing v18 with the plan ID being unsigned,
keeping a maximum of consistency for both of IDs. AFAIK, this is
something that Lukas's plan storing extension exposes as an int64
value to the user and the SQL interfaces, even if it's true that we
don't expose it in core, yet.
